Th players may not want to “play for the manager” in which case, play for your wages and your own reputation.

That's why the Ajax match irked me so much.  

 

If you can't fully apply yourself in your first CL (proper) match then you have to wonder what the point is!?

Unfortunately, not the way some of today's footballers think.

Signs aren't good.

After games, it is always the line that..... we know this is shite but we'll look to do better next time.

Next time comes and it is the same again and again, and again.......

 

Connor Goldson's brace at Parkheid on the 19th of October 2020 was what started the implosion on the other side of the city. They'd won a fair few games up until that point but the signs were there for what was coming.

 

Drop points against Aberdeen and we would very much be taking the same path.

Gonzo is correct.

I will correct them, sorry.

I hardly think start times are crucial in the point @buster.is making. He was right to identify these eight games as probably determining our season and the necessity of winning all our domestic league games. There were 15 points to play for and after one game we've already dropped two of them. Of the remaining four games, I think we will need a minor miracle to get full points.
